3015713 - Reapproval Functionality for Purchasing Contracts

Symptom

The purchasing contract has been released after approval. Changes have been made to Validity Dates, Quantity, or Price and you want the system to trigger the approval process.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Sourcing and Contracting Work Center
  2. Navigate to the Contracts View
  3. Select the relevant Contract which is already released
  4. Now do the changes to Validity Period, Quantity and Price, you wish system would trigger approval process for the new changes.

Cause

Currently we do not have reapproval functionality for purchasing contracts. System will trigger notification to the employee responsible but not the approval task.

Resolution

Purchasing contracts does not support the reapproval process and hence this can be taken as a new requirement. Hence we request you to post in influence forum -  https://influence.sap.com/SAPByDesign.
